Report of a novel mutation in CRB1 in a Lebanese family presenting retinal dystrophy.

abstract：:Several forms of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) are caused by mutations in genes encoding proteins that are ubiquitously expressed and involved in the pre-mRNA spliceosome such as PRPF31. This paper provides an overview of the molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and mechanism for incomplete penetrance...
